One Tree Hill

[Loz]

Lucas and Peyton all the way for me. Brooke irks me for some reason even though i really like Sophia

[Loz]

Damn you Bre! In major One Tree mode now because we've talked about it Liking Brooke more this time round. Very strange.....

[Bre]

I've been watching it all day! I woke up at 3 pm (yeah yeah) and watched a couple episodes of Friends, but then I started watching season 3 of OTH ... and I remember why I hate this show! I cry in every damn episode. It's terrible! The first 4 episodes are so depressing (of season 3). I decided to stop after something good happened just because I know something bad will happen now.

[Loz]

I'm going to need a Peyton and Lucas set i think

I haven't seen Season 3 - but i know what happens. It does sound like a hard slog If i'm not doing anything on the long weekend i'm going to go buy it and have a marathon.

[shred]

I feel that season 3 is the best episode so far. Lots of great stuff happening and the story takes a huge turn in the middle of the season.

The ending is such a cliffhanger!

[Bre]

Oh great! I hate cliffhangers.. poo. And I can make you a set Loz. I'm feeling the Peyton/Lucas thing.

I just watched the new ep of season 4.

SPOILER: Click to show

Man, this ep was boring! After the last ep, I thought the aftermath of it would be great and would definitely pushed the season along but it was such a let down. The writers definitely didn't do well in wrapping things up.

Btw, I read an interview with Mark Schwahn. He has some very interesting thoughts for season 5 if there was to be one.

TVGuide.com: Do you know if the show will be on next season?
Schwahn: No, I don't, and if you can find out for me.... [Laughs] I've talked about jumping the show ahead five years and skipping college if we come back next season. It's unprecedented and it's never been done, and I think it would be a really compelling journey to take. It doesn't mean we wouldn't go back and dedicate entire episodes and substantial moments to nights in college that affected where they are now.

TVGuide.com: I think I would want to see that!
Schwahn: Well, I would want to write it. When most of these shows go to college, it's hard to create the energy and enthusiasm for their journeys, but as a storyteller, there's such a sense of excitement to tell those stories. I think it would reinvigorate the show in a really good way, so hopefully the CW will see the merits in it.

Now this is a very interesting thought. I would definitely like to see this happen. I agree that teen shows tends to sag when they reach those college years (The O.C anyone ). With everything that has been happening now, it would be very interesting to see how things will be in 5 years time. ;D

You can find the full interview here ( Link ). It's very spoiler-y though, especially for season 4. So beware.

Oh! I'm definitely a Leyton shipper now! ;D

[Loz]

Thanks for that link, it was a good interview

I'll get you some pics Bre. Cheers for that

[ryley]

Hey guys. I'm a One Tree Hill fan too, I'm also a big Leyton shipper
I'm also one of the few Dan fans

[Loz]

How you can like Dan?! He's a total bastard

[ryley]

He's always been a interesting character for me because he's not pure bad and the show always shows his emotion and some of the reasons he acts the way he does. But, Season 4 made me like him a lot more because of the spot he was put in. I just find him to be a really interesting character

[shred]

You're a fan of Dan?

I'm actually hating him more this season (seaon 4). I can't stand the fact that he's trying to get closer to Karen. Grrr...

Anyone watching season 4?

[ryley]

Yeah, I'm watching Season 4. Have to wait for May 2 for a new episode now.

[shred]

Argh! I know! At first they planned on showing a new ep on March 28 but now they moved it to May!

I'm glad psycho Derek came back in the last ep. I thought the show was really interesting with the Derek storyline. After he was gone, the show kinda got a little boring. I can't wait to see what happens at prom.

I hope that Dan is revealed as the murderer in this season. I'm itching for some new stuff to happen in the show. I feel that it's becoming a little repetitive.

[ryley]

SPOILER: Click to show

I'm glad Psycho Derek is back too, he's a really interesting character and I hope we get to learn more about him. I think people will probably find out that Dan killed Keith by the end of the season for sure.

[shred]

Yay! OTH has been picked up for another season. And according to the creator, MS, in season 5, we'll see OTH set 4 years into the future.

It's going to be very interesting season.

[Loz]

I think thats a really good idea. Shows tend to go downhill once the characters hit college (Bev Hills, Dawsons, OC etc.... and no comments about Dawson's thanks Shaun ). Cutting that four years and showing us the characters as adults is going to be very interesting and something i'm keen to see

[shred]

Yeah, I agree.

I'm glad OTH is skipping the College Years. Seeing how so many things went on in High School, there's nothing left to cover when they go into college. It would be interesting to see who ended up where and with whom.

Like Dan. I want to see where Dan would be in 4 years time.

[ryley]

Post your thoughts on the finale, people!

Few short thoughts on the finale:

SPOILER: Click to show

I like how the episode balanced happiness and Dan's guilt. I liked seeing Shelly back, I think she's a really good character, and damn sexy . I loved Dan's storyline the most in this episode, and the ending was so amazing, balancing the kids hapiness and Dan's guilt and suicide attempt worked so well, so sad

[shred]

I haven't seen the episode yet, will do so soon.

I can't wait to see how season 5 turns out. Since it's going to be set 4 years ahead, it's going to be interesting to see how and where the characters end up. But I'm going to miss the high school years though.

Not like how I miss my Master though because she's mean! 31/50
